§ MR. WYLDsaid, he would beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works, if it be intended to video and enlarge the Bridge over the Regent's Canal (near the Gloucester Gate), in compliance with the request contained in the Memorial of the Inhabitants of the Regent's Park and in its neighbourhood? A large population had grown up in that locality since the erection of the Bridge, the roadway of which was much too narrow to accommodate the increased traffic; and many accidents had resulted in consequence.
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSsaid, that he had looked carefully into the whole question, and he was decidedly of opinion that if the Bridge were widened and enlarged, it would lead to a great expense, which would certainly not be undertaken by the Government; and he therefore thought that the question had better be left to the consideration of the Vestry of Marylebone.
